It’s official! Kelly Ripa’s new co-host is former NFL defensive end Michael Strahan. The announcement came this morning in what was arguably the worst kept secret in the television industry. News leaked of Strahan’s gig several weeks ago and seemingly no one from Live with Kelly denied it.

The two make an interesting pair and judging from the amount of hugs and kisses being shared, it’s going to be quite a passionate show.

Ripa offered as much resistance in that kiss as Brett Favre did in the record breaking sack.
